Build and monetize a simple niche calculator website

Chris Koerner on The Koerner Office Podcast — The Most Passive Online Side Hustle I've Ever Seen

Create a focused calculator, quiz, generator, or similar tool that solves one specific problem with high or growing search demand. Monetize the resulting traffic with display advertising and email capture, and expand by adding related calculators or adapting the same template to other niches.

Problem: Users need a quick way to calculate or understand a specific result without doing the underlying calculations themselves.

For: People searching for a specific calculation, including users interested in paychecks, calories, mortgages, side hustles, health, fitness, AI tools, or other focused topics.

Examples

• A paycheck calculator website was described as receiving over 700,000 unique visitors per month and being worth about $1.1 million if monetized only with ads.

Online trade school funded through government grants

Chris Koerner on The Koerner Office Podcast — The Most Profitable Online Business No One Talks About

Create an online vocational school that trains students for in-demand skilled trades, uses eligible government grants to cover tuition, and either white-labels existing curricula or develops training with an industry operator.

Problem: Students need affordable training that fits around jobs and family responsibilities, while employers need qualified trade workers without waiting for traditional schools to train them.

For: Adults who need flexible, lower-cost training; people receiving public assistance; employers that need certified workers; young people considering alternatives to college; and organizations such as nonprofits or prison programs.

Examples

• Hector's forklift technician school generated $2.4 million in its first calendar year, then $1.4 million in its second year with a two-person operation after moving strictly online.

Build and sell a narrowly scoped AI-generated software product

Chris Koerner on The Koerner Office Podcast — The Only Playbook You Need to Sell Anything Online

Use GoHighLevel's AI Studio and vibe-coding tools to create a focused web application, offer it as a lead magnet or paid product, and monetize access through a one-time payment or subscription.

Problem: Small businesses may need a simpler or more targeted alternative to complex software such as QuickBooks, while creators need a product that can be built and distributed without traditional development work.

For: A narrow audience with a specific workflow problem that can be addressed by a small web app, such as business owners who need basic financial statements.

Examples

• A QuickBooks alternative was proposed that lets users upload bank statements and generate profit-and-loss statements and balance sheets.

Create and sell niche Claude skill stacks based on personal expertise

Chris Koerner on The Koerner Office Podcast — The Beginner-Friendly Claude AI Side Hustle Nobody Talks About

Turn repeatable knowledge and workflows into granular Claude skill markdown files, package several related skills into a downloadable digital product, and sell the package through an owned website. The same skills can also improve the creator's internal work and generate consulting opportunities.

Problem: Casual AI users repeatedly copy and paste context and instructions into broad chat projects. A specialized skill gives an AI agent a reusable procedure, relevant context, style guidance, and task-specific best practices.

For: People who use Claude or other AI agents for specialized work, including marketers, YouTube creators, SEO practitioners, gardeners, nonprofit workers, and trading-card enthusiasts.

Examples

• Claude Code skill stack: a package of roughly 20 to 25 skills sold for $99; it generated over $3,000 in 30 to 45 days, including a $1,000 one-hour consulting upsell.

A niche competitor-monitoring service for YouTube channel owners

Chris Koerner on The Koerner Office Podcast — Now is the Best Time to Make Money with Content (AI Tutorial)

Build and sell access to a customized automation that monitors a customer's competitors, records what they publish, and emails the customer a recurring list of competitor videos.

Problem: Channel owners may not have time to manually monitor competitor channels and compile their newest videos.

For: YouTube channel owners who want recurring information about what competing channels are publishing.

A searchable video-insight knowledge base that transcribes podcasts, conference talks, and YouTube videos, preserves timestamps, and lets users retrieve exact moments through an intelligent agent.

IBM Developer — Extract Insights from Videos with Docling + OpenRAG

Turn long videos into timestamped Markdown documents, ingest them into a RAG platform, and search the resulting corpus conversationally. The system can identify which video contains a topic and return direct links or exact time codes instead of requiring users to scrub through recordings.

Problem: Video is useful while watching but difficult to mine later. Finding every discussion of a topic and the corresponding moments in an hour-long recording can take hours of manual scrubbing.

For: People who regularly consume podcasts, conference talks, or other long videos and need to reference specific information later; the transcript specifically demonstrates this for a podcast creator's own podcast archive.

Examples

• The creator's podcast archive: hour-long podcast videos were transcribed and ingested so the agent could search them by topic.

Personalized children's bedtime-story subscription delivered by email

Chris Koerner on The Koerner Office Podcast — I Told an AI Agent to Make Me Money. It Did.

Parents create a child profile with the child's name, favorite animal, favorite color, and interests such as princesses or cars, then receive a personalized bedtime story in their inbox at a set time each evening. The service is positioned as a personal newsletter rather than another mobile app.

Problem: Parents find it tiring to create new bedtime stories repeatedly, while many families do not want to install another app.

For: Parents, especially mothers, who want creative bedtime stories for young children without having to invent a new story every night.

Examples

• Dreamtales: reached slightly over $300 in monthly recurring revenue, with 33 or 34 customers, after approximately $400 in advertising spend.

AI-generated playable research and simulation environment for niche games

Latent Space — OpenAI’s Plan to Make ChatGPT the Everything App — Akshay Nathan, OpenAI

A research environment that converts photos and rules for a physical game into a playable interactive site, then supports AI-versus-AI self-play, benchmark creation, loss-function design, and hyperparameter experimentation.

Problem: Niche physical games can require substantial effort to digitize, simulate, benchmark, and optimize before researchers can test strategies or train agents.

For: Game designers, researchers, and hobbyists who need to prototype a game digitally and run simulations or AI experiments without building the entire environment manually.

Examples

• A version of the board game Strata was created from approximately 30 photos and produced a playable Site with 3D block placement.

Create and sell low- and medium-content books through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing

Greg Gottfried — Best Online Business Ideas To Start In 2026

Design books such as lined notebooks, password logs, and themed word-search books, upload the covers and interior pages to Amazon KDP, and let Amazon print, ship, and provide customer service when customers order.

Problem: Customers want inexpensive, purpose-specific books without the creator having to print or hold inventory.

For: Amazon shoppers looking for practical notebooks, logs, puzzles, or other themed low- and medium-content books.

Examples

• A lined notebook with a humorous cover is presented as a low-content book.

Create and sell customizable digital downloads through Etsy or direct content promotion

Greg Gottfried — Best Online Business Ideas To Start In 2026

Design digital templates or files, list them on Etsy or promote them through content, and let buyers customize or download the files without physical printing or inventory.

Problem: Customers want ready-made digital designs they can customize and print or use, while sellers can deliver products without manufacturing or shipping physical goods.

For: People who need editable invitations, event materials, planners, websites, productivity templates, or other computer-created files.

Examples

• A kid's birthday-party invitation is shown as a customizable digital download.

White-label GoHighLevel software for a narrowly defined, boring industry

Chris Koerner on The Koerner Office Podcast — The Easiest Online Business to Start in 2026

Choose an overlooked niche, put a branded interface and niche-specific workflows on GoHighLevel, and sell the result as recurring software to operators who need a practical painkiller rather than a general-purpose platform. The founder can begin with experience from a service or training business, or partner with someone who already has trust and an audience in the niche.

Problem: Small businesses often manage customers, emails, follow-up, and other operations across many disconnected tools and need a niche-specific system that consolidates those functions.

For: Operators in specialized industries such as notaries, gyms, tutors, insurance, estheticians, bail bondsmen, dog groomers, wedding photographers, or other boring service niches.

Examples

• Loan Signing System: Mark Willis sells notary software built on GoHighLevel for mobile notaries at $97 per month or $1,000 per year; the transcript says he has over 1,000 customers and is doing at least $100,000 per month.

Launch a localized GoHighLevel clone for an underserved country or language market

Chris Koerner on The Koerner Office Podcast — The Easiest Online Business to Start in 2026

Package GoHighLevel's capabilities for a country or language community that has a growing entrepreneur scene and few local CRM options. Localize the domain, snapshot, documentation, and customer experience rather than limiting the opportunity to the country where the founder lives.

Problem: Businesses in underserved markets may lack CRM and marketing software presented in their own language and adapted to their local market.

For: Entrepreneurs and businesses in countries or language markets with growing business activity and limited local CRM choices.

Examples

• Techmatics: operates as an Australian GoHighLevel-like platform, charges 97 to 149 Australian dollars per month, and the transcript says it generates $2 million to $4 million per year.

No-code software business selling instant quote generators and job-profit trackers to garage door repair companies

Chris Koerner on The Koerner Office Podcast — The Simplest AI Side Hustle for Beginners

Build mobile-friendly web apps for garage door repair businesses. The instant quote generator asks homeowners about their garage, home, and needs, provides a ballpark quote, captures their contact details, and supports retargeting if they do not book. The job-profit tracker helps owners understand how much money they make on each job. Both apps include a sales website, free-trial flow, subscriptions, payments, and public publishing.

Problem: Business owners lose customers when they take too long to provide a quote, and they may not know how profitable individual jobs are.

For: Garage door repair business owners

Examples

• Door Quote Pro: an instant garage door repair quote generator with a demo form, free-trial flow, payment capability, and public publishing.

Facebook Marketplace deal-feed service or software for local resellers

Chris Koerner on The Koerner Office Podcast — How AI Makes Facebook Marketplace a Gold Mine

Monitor Marketplace for deals relevant to specific resellers and deliver matching listings as a recurring spreadsheet, email feed, or software product.

Problem: Resellers spend time searching for deals and may prefer receiving relevant opportunities in a spreadsheet or inbox instead of logging into another application.

For: Local flippers, resellers, liquidation sellers, and side-hustle sellers, especially those trading higher-ticket goods.

Examples

• A treadmill reseller selling $300 treadmills multiple times per week is presented as a stronger software customer than someone selling a few T-shirts.

Agentic clipper that automatically discovers campaigns, creates and publishes clips, and submits performance for rewards

Chris Koerner on The Koerner Office Podcast — He Can't Code but His AI Agents Make Him $5K/Month

Create an agent-driven clipping workflow that finds a campaign video, retrieves it, generates clips, adds trending sounds and B-roll, publishes the results to social platforms, and submits the resulting post links to a content-rewards system for view-based tracking and payment.

Problem: Human clippers must manually find campaign videos, create clips, add supporting media, publish across social platforms, and submit links for reward tracking. An agentic workflow would automate this chain of tasks.

For: Content creators, campaign owners, and clipping programs that want short-form videos produced and distributed without relying entirely on human clippers.

Examples

• Content Rewards: a named content-rewards platform described as tracking submitted social posts and paying CPM-based rewards, including rates such as 10 cents, 30 cents, or $1 per thousand views.

Acquire a challenged product-led SaaS company and operate it as a lean private-equity business

All-In Podcast — Google’s AI Brain Drain, SpaceX's Huge Quarter, Airtable’s 90% Collapse, US Data Fuels China AI

Buy a profitable or cash-generating SaaS company whose growth was weakened by an unsuccessful sales-led expansion, remove most of the added cost structure, and return the product to its product-led-growth roots.

Problem: A SaaS company may have a useful product and organic growth but become unprofitable after adding a large sales-led organization to meet venture-backed growth expectations.

For: Owners, founders, investors or boards of SaaS companies with a strong product and user base but an inefficient sales organization and reduced venture-growth prospects.

Examples

• Airtable: described as a profitable SaaS company with $480 million in annual revenue, 20% annual growth and nearly $1 billion in cash; it was sold to Bending Spoons for $1.28 billion, about 10% of its $11.7 billion peak valuation.

Niche data refinery that turns fragmented market information into clean, agent-ready intelligence

Greg Isenberg — Cloudflare will make 1000+ AI millionaires

Collect messy, changing information in one niche and one city, refine it into structured data and decision-ready reports, sell the manual intelligence to businesses already serving that niche, and gradually turn the spreadsheet into a dashboard, API, MCP tool, and paid agent resource.

Problem: Valuable competitive and market information is scattered across reviews, websites, directories, job posts, ads, PDFs, and other sources, making it difficult to collect, compare, and keep fresh.

For: Initially, marketing agencies, consultants, freelancers, software companies, and AI implementation providers that already sell into the chosen niche; later, the businesses that need the intelligence directly.

Examples

• Med spas: track competitor prices, treatments, review complaints, hiring, offers, and local market changes; the resulting intelligence could identify above-median Botox pricing, rising exosome-treatment promotion, confusing pricing complaints, or competitor hiring that signals capacity expansion.

Examples

• Apps: named as a product the studio builds.

Sell add-on tools, snapshots, or AI chatbot functionality to GoHighLevel agencies

Chris Koerner on The Koerner Office Podcast — The Easiest Online Business to Start in 2026

Instead of competing with other GoHighLevel white-labelers for end businesses, build a plugin, snapshot, or AI capability that improves the workflow of agencies already using GoHighLevel. Find gaps, outdated offerings, or areas that could be substantially better, then sell the add-on to agency customers.

Problem: GoHighLevel users may lack effective specialized plugins, snapshots, chatbot functionality, or updated tools and may pay more for time savings than ordinary consumers would.

For: GoHighLevel agencies and other GoHighLevel users whose businesses depend on operating quickly and saving implementation time.

Examples

• ZappyChat: sells AI chatbot snapshots as a GoHighLevel add-on, charging $200 per month per sub-account or $500 per month for unlimited sub-accounts; the transcript says it has over 1,000 recurring customers and could generate $500,000 per month at the unlimited tier.

Let a brand enter a competitor's Amazon URL, scrape recent reviews, analyze them with an AI model, and receive a concise report of customer sentiment and product opportunities.

Problem: Competitor review research is time-consuming because founders otherwise have to read, copy, or screenshot hundreds of reviews manually.

For: Shopify brands, Amazon sellers, and direct-to-consumer founders researching competitors.

Examples

• A tool that processes the last 500 reviews from a competitor's Amazon URL could return complaints, compliments, recurring language, and product improvements; suggested pricing is $50 or $100 per month or $19 for a one-off report.

It could lock applications or devices until a defined task is completed and could refund the monthly fee when the user stays focused.

Problem: Users receive abundant positive reinforcement from distracting internet products but lack a system that actively interrupts off-task behavior.

For: People who want external accountability to avoid distractions and complete defined work such as writing a business plan or sending cold emails.

Examples

• The bot could tell a user to close TikTok and return to writing a business plan.

Chris Koerner on The Koerner Office Podcast — He Turned $400 Into $2.5M Using AI (No Coding)

Offer a free AI-readiness or AI IQ test that collects an email address to reveal the score, then sell courses to people who score poorly and an official certification test to people who score well. The creator built this concept but quickly pivoted to selling directly to businesses after the initial funnel produced no purchases.

Problem: People want to measure their AI knowledge and identify what they need to learn, while the business creates separate paid paths for learning or certification.

For: Individuals who want to know how AI-ready or capable they are, including people who may want AI courses or an official certification they can place on LinkedIn or a resume.

Examples

• The AI IQ test concept: about 150 people entered their email addresses, but no one purchased before the Stripe configuration problem was discovered and fixed.
